00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			I call them kids because many of the
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05 
			young journalists in Gaza are literally, my oldest
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			two daughters are 22 and 24.
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 
			Most of these young journalists are children.
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 
			They're 20, 21, 22.
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16 
			Who are forcing the world to see them,
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 
			to understand them.
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23 
			And so now I have people who are
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27 
			so obsessed with Palestinians in Gaza that they
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31 
			follow, that if those Palestinians don't post every
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 
			four or five hours, they begin to panic
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38 
			and wonder, is my new favorite person that
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 
			I pray for, that I cry for, that
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43 
			I wonder about, is he, is she okay?
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48 
			I saw a young woman named Bisan that
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 
			I have grown to just love and admire.
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 
			She said something that, that just, that devastated
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 
			me.
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 
			She said for 60 days she had kept
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 
			her three cats alive.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 
			And she had left her cats in her
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 
			home only on day 60 for her home
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 
			to be bombed and her cats to be
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07 
			killed.
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 
			I've never cried over cats.
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 
			I don't even like cats.
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17 
			But how hard must it have been to
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21 
			keep three cats alive for 60 days in
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 
			the apocalypse?
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 
			And yet she had done it.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31 
			And I saw nearly a million people that
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34 
			interacted with her post and grieved with her
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38 
			and said, Bisan, I'm sorry about your cats.
00:01:38 --> 00:01:44 
			And I did a simple survey and asked
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48 
			my followers, how many of you know a
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 
			Palestinian by name?
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55 
			And almost 95% of my followers now
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 
			know someone in Gaza by name.
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04 
			That is a earth-shattering shift from where
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07 
			we were on October the 6th, that now
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 
			it's not a news story, it's not a
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 
			link to click on, but there is a
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15 
			person that you know and love and care
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 
			about.
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21 
			And that does not make someone Palestinian, but
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 
			it makes it real in a way that
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 
			is real for almost everyone here.
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 
			But now it's real for people all over
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28 
			the world.
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32 
			And that is something that no propaganda machine
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 
			ever could create.
